A very handsome couple
Beautiful couple. Private Collection.
My first tintype. This couple blows my mind they are so beautiful together. And her hat! Who were they? Where was this taken? He seems self-assured, she looks a bit weary. Long day at the fair?

An outdoor shot. He’s well dressed and seems to be hanging out at a park on a sunny day.
I estimate this one to be from the 20s or early 30s.
Photographer: unknown candid.
‘Bowery Boy’
Bowery Boy. Private Collection.

We can estimate this CDV to be from between 1864 and 1869 by the border style with one thick line, the other thin. Then we can narrow it down further to in-between 1864 and 1866 because during those two years the tax stamp helped fund the Civil War.
